DANIEL HUTCHINSON
Internal Medicine
About
Dr. Hutchinson believes that great healthcare occurs at the intersection between understanding a person's health and understanding their goals and values. "My job as a doctor is to listen first," says Dr. Hutchinson. "Only after I understand what you are looking for can I do a great job coordinating care with specialists and guiding care that fits your body and lifestyle." Dr. Hutchinson is an internal medicine physician who focuses on primary care, lifestyle medicine, and geriatrics. His approach combines evidence‑based medicine with expertise in nutrition, sleep, mental health, and exercise. He earned a bachelor’s degree in brain and cognitive science, graduated summa cum laude from Ross University School of Medicine, and completed an internship and internal medicine residency at Cooper University Hospital, where he pursued an advanced track in primary care and geriatrics. He is board‑certified in internal medicine and leads Polaris Primary Care, a Direct Primary Care practice that emphasizes small patient panels, 24/7 access, and personalized, preventive care.
